Saw "LeBR:ON" on the other site's comments and had a good chuckle.

confirmed, lebron on canyon

I’ve been running them with the TRP rotors that are 2.3mm No issues, they do pretty well at staying straight and big fan of the gel style coating on the arms to prevent rusting

Somehow deleted the bit about the Trickstuff Dachle HD 203mm rotor I run on my front Cominion brake setup when I edited this. Basically boiled down to the Dachle HD works great with the Dominion A4 caliper. It actually had more grip/pad interface for friction than the 200mm HS2 rotor I run on the rear. Same brake setup and pads front/rear. I also finally swapped out the rear brake line and the supposed Hayes compatible banjos and bolt are not at all. Bolt definitely does not work with Dominions although it claimed to on the website. Ended up reusing the...

Piston retraction is always set off the rotor surface. It doesn't matter how wide a rotor is as long as it fits in the slot through the caliper. I've got set of Dominions sitting on my desk right in front of me. The slot in the caliper measures 3.25 mm. If you run a 2 mm rotor, you've got 0.625 mm of clearance per side. Does your rotor run out this much? It's possible for a rotor to be perfectly straight, but it's also possible for a rotor to be worse than this. If you go run a rotor that...

indeed - and it's a pretty good tire! (at least based on my 2 days of testing so far...)

Based on my experience with it the lower headset cup is too small to give you more than 1 or 2 mm in reach adjustment. Even with a normal 56mm headset you need use an external cup on the bottom for the lower bearing to sit outside the head tube with a tapered fork.

Bigger companies working with proprietary shocks is historically not awesome.

I have an unreleased 140/150mm bike in the shop that comes stock with a Fox 36 and Mavens type build kit with a completely new inline fox shock with the bike manufacturers logo on it and a HUGE air can. It's very strange to see an inline shock on a build like this so I'm interested in whats going on with it. Apparently next week we'll know. It kind of looks like an RP23 with a high volume air can but 1.5x the size

B Practice from Poland is live! We start with Dak breaking down the highs and lows of his weekend and what happened in that darn left turn. As always, he's got some rad insight into his headspace when things don't go exactly to plan.

Dak 'confirmed' the new mystery Maxxis intermediate tyre is the new High Roller on the B-line cast.

To add to the thrread derailment, i recently got an Ochain and it definitely does something. The rear of the bike is almost completely silent now (even with stfubike there was still some slapping around) and all the little tugging on the pedals that you get accustomed to is gone, which you only really notice when it’s not there anymore. Did ochain solve world hunger, pedal kickback and chainslap all in one? No but it made my bike quieter and smoother, so it was worth the money in my books. on a raaw madonna with 36t DT 350 hubs

if this has been discussed, sorry. i can delete. has anyone talked about greg's norco w/ the aluminum rear end stiffened with a carbon wrap since fort william? as seen in our pit bits video. "it may be too stiff, but we're going to try." do they just scuff up the stays and vacuum bag the carbon/resin around it? pretty bonkers
